Bald Cypress – Taxodium distichum Tree Seeds | 30 Seeds | Hardy Deciduous Conifer | Fast Growing Shade Tree | Wet Soil Tolerant | Zone 4–8

Grow a strong, long-lived native shade tree with these Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum) seeds. Known for its feathery green foliage that turns beautiful orange-cinnamon in fall, this fast-growing deciduous conifer adds year-round interest to landscapes.

Though famous for growing in southern swamps, Bald Cypress adapts exceptionally well to upland soils and average garden conditions. In wet areas, it may develop distinctive “knees” that rise above the soil or water surface, creating a unique architectural feature.

With a pyramidal to conical shape and impressive mature size, Bald Cypress makes an excellent shade tree for large lawns, parks, water gardens, and naturalized settings. It is highly tolerant of cold, heat, salt, wind, and periodic drought once established. It is also a popular species for bonsai due to its fine foliage and adaptability.
